Need help deciding which tank

[McCune]

I am planning on outing a tank in my office this summer. I am looking at 

IM Fusion 10

IM peninsula 14

Fluval Evo 13.5

 

i have a stand I plan to use that can fit any of these tanks. I like the idea of a lid on the Fluval to keep unwanted stuff out of the tank. I assume the LEDs on the Fluval are probably crap but I have not seen one in person. Plan for the tank would be easy to keep stuff zoas, rics, rock flower nem, maybe an acan or chalice but I don’t want to have to dose this tank

Consider an ATO unless you are around often enough to add fresh water.

 

This depends on your budget also, do you have one in mind?  The lights on the Evo will be fine.  What tank shape do you prefer?  That will narrow it down. 

 

It does not sound like you have a specific light in mind.  Are you the type of person that likes to upgrade stuff?  If so, get an IM and get the light you ultimately want (within budget).  If you are happy with stock and want to try your hand at things to see how it goes, the fluval is nice.  

 

If you stay on top of weekly water changes you should not have to dose, in general.  Looking forward to hearing what you decide.

Peninsula 14 has my vote.  The IM 10 is a solid tank(I own one) but the 14 has that extra space and the layout is a bit cooler with the extra length.

IM10 has my vote because I like to pick out my own lights. I think the main thing here is do you want to use stock lighting or not?

Ato is a necessity in my mind. Thank for the advice 

 

i am am really leaning towards one of the peninsula tanks. Either way it’s going to get upgraded with intank media basket, and a sicce pump

I love pensula tanks.    I don’t have a good place for one so I’ve not purchased one.  But I’m always plotting and scheming   good luck and have fun!
